Simple, I think it is one of the cleanest war ever. If you look after the 19 days, most of the infrastructure was still standing, the numbers of ruins was reduced at the minimal necessary level. And the battles of fallujah, necessitated certain munitions to assure a safe as possible return home from the tours to the troops.
I hope that China will not fall in the folly of pretending to be some kind of guardians of so called international law. It would be very detrimental to the defense posture of china and a lie. I don't give a shit fuck of what is necessary to defend china...
Those who do, don't have their place among plaoc. The goal isn't to be a philosopher or theorician of international justice, but to fucking win the war by defeating the necessary number of enemy forces to break their will to fight and win the war.
If you look more closely, irak could have been entirely flatten at a lower cost in dollars and in lives and injuries. And the battle of fallujah totally avoided if more discussion from all side, but particularly the weakest had been implemented.
I find this kind of remarks, unfair, unjust and detrimental to an honest approach to war, necessary for china to be able to defeat those who want to enslave, ruin and exploit it. And great news, all hide behind so called international or national law.
Remember it isn't because something is legal that is just. There is a BIG difference and forgetting it really leads to atrocities.
I think that those ideological mistakes may have been responsible for the latest fallouts.
